the technology goal within the Strategic plan Mr gorson thank you good evening everyone and thank you for taking some time to get an update on the progress of our 20242 strategic plan it related targets
today we'll review the progress for strategic elements 9.2 and 9.3 focusing on technology updates and Innovations and some cyber security enhancements strategic plan element 9.2
emphasizes staying current with technology updates and Innovations our 2425 targets include migrating all users to Windows 11 and office 21 anal izing automation opportunities for rentals and
safety processes improving collaboration between the application team and the managers and implementing the new version of Infinite Campus messenger strategic plan element 9.3 is
dedicated to safeguarding our our District's digital Assets in our student and staff information the key 20242 Target is to evaluate the viability of utilizing the CIS endpoint analysis tool and adjusting system
configurations to ensure compliance with security standards before we get into the specifics of the targets though and the progress we've made toward achieving them let's take a brief look at the scope of the environment that d211 it
maintains and supports our it team supports nearly 15,000 users every school day along with thousand thousands of devices that they use of course student iPads make up the largest amount with over 13,000
including spares and some special use iPads uh that are used for things like the fine arts classes design classes accommodation for special needs and others in addition to the thousands of devices employees and students use it
also supports over 12200 Network switches firewalls access points controllers servers and other devices that make up the districtwide Redundant local area network and connections to the internet we also support and
maintain over a thousand Voiceover IP office telephones Steve I know you'll appreciate that nearly 1 million emails hit the d211 email system each month only about half of those are actually delivered to
users the rest are automatically filtered out as spam fishing emails harmful messages containing malware or messages sent from known malicious or inappropriate sources it currently manages a total of
nearly 200 terabytes of storage data is made up of student information and classroom work for current students along with archive data for prior d211 students working lesson data for teachers teaching assistants operations
data such as HR information like employee demographics résumés applications and certification data um email payroll data and more teachers are increasingly using digital photos scanned images and video content in
their classroom all of which consume very large amounts of data now to the specific strategic plan targets first is keeping the migration to Windows 11 and office 21 on track Microsoft has announced that support for
Windows 10 will be dropped this October you'll recall that users's computers are replaced on a three-year cycle about 2third of the inventory has been replaced with machines that are already on Windows 11 and office 21 and the
final one-third is on track to be replaced um after school ends late uh this spring the second Target deals with process efficiency and Effectiveness as it relates to rental automation safety
software and general forms approval workflows concerning facilities rentals our school software already licensed by the district is being leveraged to streamline that Rental process safety response and unification uh unification
planning in process are likewise being streamlined in enhanced using Raptor again software already licensed for visitor scanning by the district a platform change for accessing the security camera system was implemented
to provide Fuller functionality easier and faster access from any location and at a cost that is a fraction of the previous platform increasingly users are learning chat GPT and exploring ways to use it to make their tasks more
efficient and learning and leveraging Google forms to automate what were previously manual workflows the third target involves collaboration between the applications team and various end user Department directors
and managers increasing the amount and improving the quality of project documentation especially requirements documentation and the regular scheduling of project planning and Status meetings have resulted in greater Clarity achieved earlier in the Project Life
Cycle so less rework shorter development life cycles have been achieved the fourth Target implementing a new version of Infinite Campus messenger has not been achieved because Infinite Campus has not yet released the new
version as anticipated and no release date has yet been announced the education sector continu continues to be a target with increases in ransomware attacks data is not yet complete for 2024 outright hacking
attempts are likewise on the increase in this market sector with 129 attacks reported in 2022 954 in 2023 and with 2024 data yet to be
completed but as of October the numbers appeared to be at least as high as what was experienced in 2023 the Target under element 9.3 has been achieved as District 211 is aligned with the CIS security standard since all
a checklist used to image endpoints and Group Policy objects within active directory which is the subsystem that manages user authentication those have all been modified to reflect and Implement changes to meet the CIS
standard concerning student safety and privacy it's worth pointing out that the district is fighting a continuous battle with threat actors of all kinds at the start of each school year when iPads get distributed School Technology Department shares distrib documentation to the
parents of freshman students addressing the use of iPads part of that documentation and messaging includes an overview regarding the educational intentions in appropriate use of those devices a link to Apple statement on the
protection of students private information is also provided Additionally the district and school websites include pages of information related to the iPads also when the iPads are distributed the technology department chairs a
remind parents that Apple provides a parental controls app on their students iPad so they can further restrict the access their child has to various aspects of the device if they wish several measures have been put in
place to protect the privacy of students and to keep the district compliant with applicable federal and state privacy and security protection laws the children's internet protection act sipa and the Illinois student online privacy protection act soapa are examples of
those standards on the iPad itself Apple's K12 education environment plus the device configuration settings provide many built-in features that are set and locked in ahead of time to enhance security and
privacy additional device management and use and feature restrictions are layered on using Jam the district's most mobile device management software you'll recall that District 211 received significant grant funding through the federal eate
program to offset the costs associating with operating the district's computer with operating the district's computer networks to receive this funding the district must be compliant with the children's internet protection act CPA
d211 partners with the state organization doit that program and the Illinois Century Network program to apply for and secure this funding the state provides Cisco's umbrella Cloud
Security Service as part of this program to ensure CPA compliance umbrella features extensive category based filtering capabilities while the district's Palo Alto firewalls provide direct URL uh filtering
capability finally you'll recall that you'll recall the survey that was conducted by hya during the superintendent search in which nearly 2,000 responses were collected I think it's worth noting that two of the top five elements identified as strengths of
District 211 are technology related I'd like to acknowledge the outstanding work done by our amazing dedicated and skilled technology teams including the technology department chairs and their staffs in the in the buildings the district infrastructure strategy and
support team technology Services team of data analysts programmers and system support folks located here in the ad Center but none of this would be possible without the vision the support confidence and Trust from you the d211
board of education so thank you for your ongoing support as we do our part to prepare d21s students for their futures if you have any questions comments wonderments love to hear right well I
thank you very much for the presentation I'd like to start with Miss caval do you have any questions thank you for the presentation I just want to double check that I can be heard okay yes we can hear you perfect thank you I only have one uh
question and I suppose um using your terminology it's more of a wonderment um it's specifically regarding the information towards the end of the presentation about the protections for students in the one toone iPod and iPad environment that was listed there I
think it's the second to last slide and um has the administration considered liasing with the Communications Department or director in analyzing the efficacy of our um protections the information about those protections that's being provided
to students and parents I I do appreciate the provision that information on our website certainly but I'm wondering if perhaps we can be more proactive or more efficient in communicating all of those different
options to parents simply because like many other parents I use those same controls for my own children and um you know with every software update the details of those controls can sometimes change and so I just wonder if um
Administration has considered leasing with the comm's Department regarding the provision of this specific information so in terms of sending it out to parents that's what your question is yes students and parents I think it was noted during the presentation and
comments um that provision that information is certainly provided at the beginning of the year and then of course on our website um so yes to clarify that is what I'm talking about thank you we we could certain do that
yes thank you I appreciate that and thanks again for the presentation thank you Miss Baron thank you so much for the presentation um and taking the time to um present tonight um and you're doing it by yourself I think this is the first
time we've seen someone by themselves so awesome um thank you for bringing up the cyber attacks because that's a little bit of what I had some questions WR is like how are we protecting ourselves from you know what we hear so often is happening um I know that happened to a
local organization not too long ago so um for the protections of the students I guess you know piggy backing off uh Miss Cav's uh question as well because that's something that I had that we heard last board meeting um a parent came to speak
about just not knowing um what we're doing as a district to make sure that our students can't get into um you know certain web website so can you talk a little bit more about that like protection that we're giving our students on their iPads as far as what they could download what they can't
download like are they able to download Tik Tok on their iPad no to that exact question no they're not uh we're we control access to social media pretty closely so that's very much limited on the the one thing
that is the probably the biggest piece of that is the category based filtering that takes place with the state supplied Cisco umbrella security service that I mentioned and that um those categories
range from things like um adult oriented websites gambling sites um firearms and weaponry uh pornography gambling there's a a whole collection of those that we
set set up in that filtering system to block access for students to and like I mentioned having that kind of those Protections in place are part of being compliant with um with the uh
safety act for for student access to the to the internet and we have in Pre in previous years actually undergone routine audits from the the state to make sure that we meet compliance and we've been successful in those um and
just to clarify is are those protections only when students are accessing like through our Wi-Fi system or is that also if they're accessing their iPads through like a a cafe at a you know their internet at a local cafe like does that
extend out or do parents need to be educated on putting additional safeties on their kids iPads when they're using other people's uh Wi-Fi yeah so what we have in place is only affected for students while they're on a campus uh
Network yeah so if they go off site they're able to access other other uh other sites um you know I think as a district we need to as parents we get so much Communications like especially when you know the kids are freshman and um
the beginning of school year that that sometimes can be like the least of our concerns um which should be like the main but um so seeing more Communications about like Internet safety um um putting more information out there as to like how um people
knowing the difference of like we're protected in the school but once you like go out and use that iPad somewhere else like what can parents do to um additionally put in those protections for their students um and that's it that's all my thank you Mr Bradley Mr garon thank you
very much for continues to protect us and the district um without you and the IT department I'm sure that this wouldn't be in the state that we're in now which is pretty profitable and and in a good state of mind right now so thank you very much um I do understand
that we do our best to protect our students while they're in school and a lot of times when they are out of our care it makes it pretty difficult um but yet we do respond to any concerns
parents have I feel in a um pretty rapid um p so I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do um and look forward to seeing you again in a future thank you thank you Mr Rosen Bloom Mr gorson thank
you very much for the presentation I appreciate the update um so technology is truly a foundational aspect of our district um it's used for teaching it's used for Learning and it's
used in support of our District Operations and you mentioned some of the areas safety compliance security communication facilities and administration of our district and your last slide slide 16 which is the next
one you pointed out two of the top five identified areas of the survey but if you look at all five on the slide technology is part of all five of these areas in some way so it truly takes a village
to maintain and support the technology of District 211 and and for what you do for us and you and your team and the teams of technologists in our in our buildings um I'm sure we all all very
thankful as are our parents and students so thank you very much for everything you do thank you Mr Dum brosi yes thank you for the presentation um could you just elaborate a little bit more um on the uh Targets on slide 10 the
specifically the collaboration between the applications team and the end user managers kind of maybe put lay terms for some of us that may not be familiar with exactly what the applications team or who might that might be and who the end user managers are yeah we have a team of
programmers and data analysts in house and they do they support um systems like our student information system Infinite Campus for example and there are lots of requests for analysis of of data and
extracting data from that system and systems like schoolagy for example our finance system and other systems that are are used across the district and those teams both the programming team and the data analyst pull that data
together they provide some pretty sophisticated data visualization products um that are used from from uh by staff in the schools it's used by Administration here for executive decision making to
substantiate those decisions that get made so we've got good data and lots of it and that's what that team's responsibility is is to extract that data and put it together in order to meet the needs of other
administrators what we wanted to do was improve that process there's such a demand uh want to get the efficiency out of that as much as possible so we applied some additional project management techniques and kind of tuned
it up a little bit with more regular meetings more indepth definition of what the requirements are for various projects and that eliminates having to go back and iteratively rework and it makes it work much more efficiently and
that's what that aspect is about excellent thank you very much you bet thank you Mr mwan thank you so much for presentation no questions tonight all right I I thank you very much president um I'm sorry I have a follow-up question yes please go
ahead thank you uh this is following up from an aspect of um member uh Michelle so Michelle's questions about how the protections are really only specifically associated with our Wi-Fi networks so I
would like to know if for example um let's just let's just do the hypothetical Tik Tock example from the previous question so I understand that students regardless of whether or not Tik Tac Tik Tok is available on the App Store currently um I understand that
would it be available they would not be able to download it when on our Wi-Fi network but they certainly can it sounds like barring Parent Access or screen time protection setup if they're out of Starbucks for example so let's let's say a student does that they download Tik
Tok and then when they bring their iPad back into school and they're back on their on our Wi-Fi network does that then proc clude their use of those applications on our Wi-Fi network so regardless of whether or not they've downloaded those
things outside of our Network can they use them once they've downloaded it on our Network so let Gary's Mr G's gon to speak to in general how our app store works it does not work like a normal phone or a normal iPad yes you yes the
students don't have access to um the Apple Store to download um apps independently those apps have to they're completely blocked from that on the device itself so what we do is we create a school app store and only put in
approved apps so whether they're on the network or not they need to uh anything they download has to be pre-approved I see fantastic and then would would a students use of a VPN be
able to bypass that well that if they could use a VPN we do block VPN of course there are hundreds if not thousands of those out there and the that's the issue okay lovely thank you so much you're welcome uh Mr Rosenblum
has another question I do I have a a couple others um one is as as Miss Baron had said um I think it's important that you know we have some we have families parents and caregivers who are not technically Savvy may not have
technology at home and the students bringing those devices into the home may be the only device that they have other than a smartphone perhaps um and I think it's important because we're educating our students how to use them that perhaps we offer some kind of exposure
and educational opportunity for the caregivers of those students who may be interested in learning how does that work right because my students bringing it home they're going to their room or they're going to the dining room table and they're logging in and they're using this thing and I have no idea what
they're doing or how they're doing it so maybe some some type of exposure for them to see how it works and and offer it to them not not require that's a good discussion for our technology department chairs to have in terms of how we can present that whether that be through
videos through connections through newsletters that Aaron would put out mhm sure and one other thing was a followup to what Miss caval said is if a student takes a device off campus and they're doing something and maybe they download
something onto their device like through email links or such and then they come back into our campus turn on their device and now they have malware on it do we have a system in place that when they when they turn on their computer or
their their iPad or their their Chromebook or whatever devices that they have and they're on our Wi-Fi that our Wi-Fi is scanning that device for anything that may be brought
in yes the way that's set up is that if in the unusual circumstance where a student were to actually get malware onto an Apple device which is pretty rare to begin with um our servers
and the network components are protected with anti-malware software that would detect and cut that device off until it could be cleaned okay so it prevent it from spreading so to speak thank you
very much as much as possible okay you remember I'm not sure all the board members currently saw the our swiss cheese model of uh security where we have multiple layers where something things do tend to get through some
layers but they get blocked in subsequent layers but there's the bad guys are really talented and it's a it's a constant uh challenge to to try to keep up with that and not to say anything negative about your presentation but I was I was kind of
thinking there was going to be a Swiss cheese slide but thank you though make sure I one I only let him do that once okay and I was there for it so I I do have a question kind of going along with um the information we share with parents can you talk a little bit
about more about what type of information do you share with the parents do you give them a handout is there uh some kind of a little cheat sheet that they need to watch for what are the parents get at the beginning when they're told about the iPads It's a
combination of things there are handout sheets that have references on them to things like the um usage guidelines for example there's references to Apple's K12 education site that talks
about student privacy and how that's actually built into the iPad so there's it's mostly references otherwise we'd be handing out stacks of written U material so it's that that kind of thing and then
in that process of distribution the tech department chairs and their staff speak to the the parents if they're present or whoever comes to pick up the iPads and talks about what things are available like the parental controls app that's
built into the the device there's some reference made to that it's a little bit like drinking from the fire host for these folks when there's just so much potential information it's hard to just try to get it all out there verbally so the idea of references and some of the
the topics that you and the suggestions that you all have mentioned tonight could be very helpful in effectively communicating that uh to parents in a more palatable way right and I think from the the questions that were asked and the responses I think that's really
important because the more you hear things the more you're apt to remember and learn so and even doing Hands-On things with with the parents if we had some kind of a presentation uh makes the world of difference so no I I think you've had some some good dialogue some
good questions and truly appreciated so any other questions okay if not then I thank you very much and we will move on to the next item a pleasure thank you thank you okay um the next item is our consent agenda and because not all board members
were present at the January 23rd 2025 board meeting we have two motions the first suggested motion recommended motion is that the consent agenda with the removal of the minutes of the meeting of January 23rd 20125 be
approved as presented may I have a motion please so moved second second thank you um any discussion roll call please miss Baron I Mr Bradley I miss Cavell hi Mr dumbrowski hi Mr mcowan hi
Mr Rosenblum hi Mrs gluntz I the motion carries the second recommended action is that the minutes of the meeting of January 23rd 2025 be approved as presented may I have a motion please so moved second okay any
discussion hey roll call please miss Baron hi Mr Bradley hi Miss caval hi Mr L Browski I Mr McOwen abstain Mr Rosen Bloom I Mrs clim quitz
I the motion carries thank you all right then that takes us to our special reports and communication the first is Freedom of Information Act requests that's an information item if there's no questions then we'll
move on to the next which is the class siiz committee report and that's an information item Dr small the master schedule development at H school is a tremendous task taken on by our student services directors who work to develop a schedule to accommodate as many students
as possible in their graduation requirements as well as their chosen electives the creation of this schedule involves class size agreements room assignments teacher availability it involves algorithm algorithms put in place by our software followed by hand adjustments for Unique instances as part
of a very complex system the report is presented to the board after each semester showing the number of individual classes that have more students than prescribed by the scheduling guidelines this semester the report indicated that only eight of 3,351 individual classes are in that
category and six of the eight were resolved within the first six days of school I would like to acknowledge the people who make this happen those are our student services directors at each School including Fred rasmon at Palatine High School Tracy bafia at friend High School Bridget Kane at conet High School
yassi Delgado at shamber high school and Jennifer beers at Hoffman Estates High School for the work that they do in creating the master schedule within the parameters that we give them thank you any questions all right if not that will take us to the next item the 2025
2026 Financial calendar including budget and lovey sequence it's an informational item Dr small attached to the agenda is the financial calendar including the development of the budget and the levy this year-long financial calendar is outlined as informational and a reminder of the upcoming
process okay if there's no questions then we'll move on the next item is the behavioral intervention standing board committee report um I was able to attend that meeting um Renee Erikson chaired the meeting and there were a couple of
parents and teachers that were there they looked at the policy that is uh talks about behavioral interventions with students with disabilities and looking how to promote and strengthen the desired behaviors um one of the
parents that was there who has a child at Endeavors also talked about some of the activities that they have at the regular at the home school and the encouragement of having some of our special needs students being able to attend those activities and also buddy
up with with a with a student from that home school so looking at that as as a strength and um making a little bit more comfortable for our young person who has some disabilities it was a small group and good information and good exchange
of ideas um if there's if there's any questions I can try to answer or Miss caval possibly if not then we'll move on that will take us then
to the isbe non-regulatory guidance on immigration enforcement action that was an information item Dr small this guidance on immigration Enforcement Act uh actions recommends that districts have clear steps should immigration officials arrive at the
school designate administrators who will receive information that is being requested and have uh staff members directives in place based on information from our attorneys district 21 has a procedure in place should an immigration agent have come to our schools this
would be similar procedure that would happen for any person who is not a parent or Guardian who comes to our school to contact us regarding information about a student we remove the person to a secure meeting room ask for identification and information and that information then is passed on to
the superintendent's office myself or my designes then review the information according to school policy school code and law District 211 attorneys are available to review subpoenas and warrants as these documents have different Authority depending on their status this is explained in great detail
in the document that's attached to the board agenda 211 also has two policies that additionally protect our students the first does not allow students to be interviewed during the school day by any person who is not an employee unless that person has a required court order this would be a criminal order signed by
a judge criminal warrants are not what immigration officials are known to have as paperwork the second policy designates that parents must be notified should there be any requests regarding a student in connection with law enforcement agencies both of these policies add to the protection of our
students again no authorities can engage with students without a court order that has been reviewed by District 211 attorneys to ensure that the connection to the student is required by law and action must be taken during the school day in terms of immigration status District 211 does not require
information on immigration status and is that is not allowed by the administrative code the isbe non-regulatory guidance contains a thorough reference page for those who are seeking additional references connected to their guid and these procedures District 211 staff continues
to be dedicated to ensuring our students feel safe valued and welcomed so that they can truly engage in the opportunities we provide for them within our schools any questions Dr small had given us um the information from the Illinois
State Board of Education yeah I just have a question um because from what I understand we have protocols in place when it's happening during school time but do can you talk a little bit about after school because
anybody can come in and out at some capability inside our schools so how do we protect our students outside of schools and do we have protocols in place as to who that person is going to be as like the designat because not a lot of Administrators are you know
usually late into the evening and so or maybe one or the board has approved for us to have Safety and Security Personnel in our evenings until 10 o' they are trained just as ad administrators are trained on what to do if the staff was in there um our coaches and activity sponsors also know what to do perfect so
then I will say because again they're coming they can come into our schools someone has to stop them in their tracks so I guess like how do we further protect them so I think we need to clarify that we cannot stop people when we have an event that is open to the public so if an agent wants to walk in
during a basketball game they can and we cannot stop them from doing that but when we don't have events that are open to the public we can certainly stop them from entering our school question then if someone walks in with um a a uniform or a vest that says
ice would they in turn we would stop that individual or unless they're coming into an event that's open to the public yes we would stop them and we have the ability to retain them to find out what they want and then send them away and
that's part of the duty of our um the support staff that we have and the safety safety staff okay and so how do we F or can we clarify for any person in the community who might not want to be
in that public setting then like how can maybe not assure them but are they an adult or are they one of our minors either or it can be a family that's going there between our minors and what we can do and an adult so let's say um our protections are all set in place for
minors that are our students and those protections are not are they still put in place when it's an open public event or does it for our students uhuh for our students yes okay okay any other
questions okay thank you I do not have a question Madame President I just wanted to um thank Dr small I asked um a fairly lengthy series of questions related to this topic most of which have been answered here in public setting tonight but I had specific uh questions
regarding the um our our SRO and their involvement or non- involvement in any of these policies and procedures and I want to thank Dr small for getting back to me and the rest you know all board members because when one of us knows something everybody knows something um
in such a timely manner and with so thorough answers so thank you Dr small I appreciate that thank you very much all right with that we'll move on to um unfinished business and this the S I'm going to go with the suggested motion
that has coming from the administration that the Board of Education accept the 2024 recapture Levy under Section 18- 233 of the property tax code in the full amount extended by the Cook County Clerk may I have a motion please so
moved second okay all right open it up for discussion Dr may start uh tonight the board has been been provided an updated five-year projection to assist in the consideration of accepting or abating the property tax levy recapture Levy that is available to District 211
the major changes in the five-year projection are documented in the details in the write up that is attached to the agenda there are two significant changes that I want to bring forward that we are currently experien seen as a district at an unprecedented level first our health
benefits for our employees are currently 2.5 million above our original budget from the fall this increase has been adjusted within the updated projections that you have received tonight secondly at the chart on the top of page three of the writeup indicates we are
experiencing the highest property tax refund rate since 2016 therefore the updated five-year projection you see tonight has also been adjusted by $45 million the loss in our Revenue that is going back to um
taxpayers for for their property tax adjustments I'd like to uh show the chart this is the chart that is in the board write up um just to kind of orientate you to the chart and remember
how this works when you see on the row where the uh fiscal years are fiscal year 25 is the Year we're in the projections we're looking at are going out through fy3 the numbers that are circled in blue
these are numbers that we know all other numbers on the projection are numbers that we are uh doing our estimates on as best as we can when you look down to the yellow row this is what the board is familiar with and looking at five-year
projections in terms of looking at our fund balance uh the board policy the minimum fund balance is 33% when you look at the second yellow row this would be the fund balance with the inclusion of the 20 24 recapture
Levy the most this is the most updated information which is why we brought this to the board now and the consideration of the recapture Levy the recapture Levy is 4.2 million which would increase the fund balance by approximately 1% each year would have a financial impact on
the average taxpayer of $40 a year okay thank you any questions or discussion Dr small I um or Miss hmel I have a question um uh I'm wondering if I'm correct in
stating that it is my understanding that um I know we have our board policy regarding the 33% minimum B fund balance we've discussed this at nauseum Etc but um am I correct in state in stating that uh
ISB the State Board of educ education itself requires a 25% minimum cash onand um fund balance for districts I don't know if that's specific to the educational fund or overall fund balance
first am I right in saying that um I believe I believe that it's a 25% minimum or any District in violation of that is um Warran State intervention is am I right in saying that um I don't believe that they have a
specific um requirement for fund balance but there are guidelines with regard to um what happen so there's a couple things one there's a financial profile score that is released every year um the highest rating is based upon a district
that has six months of reserves um and then it goes down from there uh with regard to the um the score that is assigned to the district and who is signs those scores the State Board of Education um there are other uh
requirements if you have um deficit budgets without adequate fund balance you have to um complete a deficit spending Plan and there's some other components like that but um off the top of my head I am not aware of a a specific um number that the the state
sets okay perfect and then um I know that this is you might not have this answer on hand but um this is is a clarification uh when you're talking about six months of operating expenses um do we have a ballpark of what that would be for our district
specifically um roughly um 50 million okay okay those were my questions thank you so much thank you any other questions um I'd like to point out that
we do not have you know any debt I think that that's a positive um and I believe that when we set the 33% we were looking at the six per or excuse me about six months worth of of funds being able to to match you know pay our expenses so
all right if there's no other questions then I'm going to ask for um roll call please Mr Rosen Bloom I miss cell I Mr dski no Mr McOwen I miss Baron
no Mr Bradley I Mrs Clin quitz I the motion carries all right then that takes us to our next item which is the inservice states all right and the recommended
action sure I don't miss a date here the recommended action is that the Board of Education approves the following shortened days August 28 2025 for parent open house March 5th 2026 for college night and Friday November 7th
2025 Friday February 13 2026 Friday February 20th 2026 and Friday May 8th 2026 as shortened days for inservice training of certified staff and special events of which each School may choose a
maximum of two days for 2025 2026 two shortened days for state required testing days as determined by the Illinois State Board of Education and implementation of 14 Morning work sessions Each of which would be 75
minutes on the following Tuesdays August 19th 20125 September 2nd 2025 September 16 2025 September 30th 2025 October 28th 2025 November 18th
2025 December 2nd 2025 January 13 2026 January 27th 2026 February 10th 2026 February 14th 2026 March 10th 2026 March 31st
2026 and April 28th 2026 may I have a motion please so moved second all right discussion okay no discussion roll call please Mr mcgaan hi Miss Baron I Mr Bradley I miss
Kell I Mr Dum brosi I Mr Rosen Bloom I Mrs kimowitz I the motion carries next item the recommended action is that the Board of Education award the replacement of Stadium lighting to Impact Sports lighting LLC as presented with approval
of ComEd rebates may I have a motion please so moved may I have a second okay second okay any discussion yeah I I just had a quick question so I noticed in the write up it says that it eliminates the need for
Design Services provided by the architect and I'm assuming this was just put out to the to the cooperative and there was no design specifications and it wasn't bid out um it it was we met with um a couple different companies
ahead of time um to get an understanding of what the systems entailed and things like that um went and reviewed different systems uh physically you know went to other schools to to see them and then worked through the Cooperative um of the
um most uh desirable lighting system that had that aligned with our current system and and controls um and as stated in the write up it is through a purchaseing Cooperative so it was bid through that agency so I guess it being
Engineers week I'm just asking if there's any assurances that what we're putting in is going to be comparable and that we've had an engineer look at it or some design professional to say that this system is going to be the equivalent or better outside of the
rebates outside of the cost efficiencies outside of the longevity but um so the company that install or that um manufactures and installs the the lighting um they certainly have a team of professionals that come out and
evaluate and every um proposal that we have is very unique to each school with regard to um the distance of runs and the setup that they have and there's there's a lot of um so that there is you know it is not just saying you have 58 fixtures and we're going to give you
that many um bulbs to come in it is um specified to our particular setup I don't know if I'm missing anything that um Mr Sparks can add to but I believe so we we don't have a design professional representing us directing them they're
telling us what they're going to give us is that correct uh Mr sees do you know if we've had if okay okay okay so we had somebody
representing our interests verifying what we were getting was going to be equal or better to what we have that's corre okay thank you very much Mr Sparks thank you any other questions okay that roll call please Mr
dski hi Mr Bradley hi Mr Rosenblum hi Miss Cavell hi Mr Macwan hi Miss Baron hi Mrs glims I the motion carries next recommended action is that the Board of Education approve the purchase of white
magnetic marker boards from educational environment using the OM niia Partners purchasing agreement in the amount of $ 63,360 may I have a motion please so
moved second okay discussion okay roll call please miss Baron I Mr Macwan I Mr tomski I Mr Rosenblum I Mr Bradley I miss kavell
I Mrs clits I the motion carries the next item is the recommended action is that the Board of Education approved the purchase of track resurfacing services from field Turf USA using the source
well Cooperative purchasing agreement in the amount of $323,500 when was the last time it was resurfaced the tracks do we know 2019 2019 um were fromen shamberg um and they were it was actually done at the time that the turf
was replaced any other questions if I remember were the tracks replaced at that time or resurfaced at that time um they were replaced I don't know that they were fully replaced I don't remember the exact but it was more more
than a resurfacing that was done at the new drainage and the whole surface was it was different than the old was correct thank you okay any other questions roll call please miss
Cavell I Mr Rosenblum hi Miss Baron hi Mr Bradley hi Mr toosi hi Mr mcowan hi Mrs climco I the motion carries all right that takes us to our next item um we do have
a couple of board policies that we're taking a look at and this is the first reading on it the first one is um board policy BCA Board of Education organizational meeting and oath of office it's an
informational item that's coming before us and if I may I'd like to start the discussion in in regards to that yeah um The Hope is that we clarify our election process of officers so as Not
to cause confusion or anxiety as has occurred uh the last two election Cycles over the years we've had generally one person who wanted to be you know a officer and things have gone
smoothly at times we've had two people that are interested in positions and what we've done in the past is the individual puts their name forward then the board members vote indicating which name um of which person they would like
for that particular position the person with the majority of votes is the one that becomes that that officer um hopefully the verbiage here clarifies that and allows us to be able to do that
so it's it's easier um it it does not cause confusion it allows the individual put their name forward um and then whoever has the most votes the majority vote
then that would be the person elected to that position so that's that's the the the summary of of the positions and in the past we've always asked three times are there any nominations and
you know that's how the nominations come forward the area that uh president clitz is specifically referencing begins at line 42 yeah and we've taken a lot of things also over the the last couple of years
uh Dr small has brought forward the positions and we're looking at um uh what is it press plus to try to merge our policies that we have um into the um
um our Schoolboard policies okay any questions on that one um I just had one I'm okay with the verbage but it's it's nothing in here to indicate uh in my opinion maybe some type of deliberation or discussion needs
to be had during those times too and I don't think I see anything there where it's it's actually stated it isn't and it generally um in the past it really hasn't been it's you know the officer the person puts their name forward um a lot of times what
happens or that has happened over the years if someone is interested in the position they will call other board members and chat with them and let them know why they're interested in it and what strengths they believe they bring
um and ask for their vote absolutely uh I am familiar um that is exactly how it happens but in a the full transparency I believe for community members I think that as a board member we should at least have to
articulate why we're fitted for the position and everyone that throwing their name in the the ring for the position so I think there should be verbiage for some type of deliberation or discussion it absolutely should go with changing if we're changing leadership there should be some type of
articulation as to who's suited and why there's generally um in the election process or even like for the iasb it's not not a matter of you know uh debating the person but maybe putting um the information the qualifications might be an option I
don't know what what say the rest of the board here what are your thoughts so so I concur with Mr mcowan to have some verbage in there to give the candidates an opportunity s should they so choose to add some comments and some some
flavor to their nominations if they so choose that may be unnecessary because there may already be uh decision that you know that's been discussed um between the candidate candidates and others um to
you to express their their interest their qualifications and such there may be no need because there's only one person so that one person doesn't have to say something um because we know that based on the the policy that's being proposed if if there's only one person
then there's no there's no voting taking place that person is automatically the selected candidate but I like to I like to have the the candidates have an opportunity should they so choose to
express their interest in the open Forum so where maybe someone can express their when they put their name forward as to what their strengths are and why they're seeking the position absolutely okay okay so I'll draft some language
for that that is at the point where when the candidate puts when a name is put forward if there are multiple obviously that was my next question only when there are multiple I would say if if it goes around three times right if the nomination is called
three times at the end of the third time there are multiple candidates the person who is running that particular position election names those three people and then asks if any of them would like
to make a comment in support of their candidacy for that position would they like to do so and then the person can say yes I'd like to say something or there isn't something okay just let me clarify that's only if there's multiple candidates yes okay I
will draft something and you'll see it in the next round but would you want something from if there's only one name no it won't be necessary that point but if well if you're saying you want the community to know about their strengths
or why they're seeking the position would you not want to comment from them no because saying at that point they won the position because it's it I agree with mad uh President Clin quitz on this like to me the principles equally applied so
and and especially the principle we're talking about seems to be one of choice not a mandatory like because we keep saying provide an opportunity for candidates to talk about their strengths or their reason for wanting the position
would have you but to me then what applies for all applies for one um if this is in the name of transparency and I I have I support that um then I think it should be just verbage that applies
regardless of how many candidates are put forward particularly since it is an optional choice and not one that's mandatory okay perfect yeah I I think we need to because if you're looking for transparency and you want people to know who we are everybody has the option then
absolutely okay all right excellent suggestion and just for my knowledge um when we don't have a president it would go down to the vice president as far as like when we're the for an example yep y
so when we get to the organizational meeting we have to to have a prot temporary president that the board elects um typically it is the vice president but the board has to officially act to put that person in place to run the organizational meeting right which is basically what we
did um last time and um which has been standard procedure okay all right thank you on that one all right then that takes us to
um BB a board powers and duties and if I can give a quick summary of this this is a um again as president kimt said a conversion toward the Press policy of board powers and duties
including indemnification there are two uh unique duties that were on the original policy from District 211 that are maintained on this uh draft and they are the last two number 22 and number 3 starting at line
75 so those two items are not in press but they are unique um that we're on our current policy in District 211 that continue on this draft version okay any questions in regards to this particular policy okay then that will take us to
the next policy and that is policy b d DB agenda format this is compiling all policies that deal with Schoolboard meeting procedure that we have into one so B ddb that you see
before you is the base policy it contains our current policy of our agenda format which remains it then adds in um bdd D which is our Quorum policy also adds in b ddg the minutes and B
DDE Rules of Order which puts everything into one policy and you'll see the recommended deletions of those other three as we get to the end of the policy list okay there's a couple of things I I would like to highlight from um from
this policy um on lines 81 it begins about the voting method of reminding people that a vote of an extension or a present um is not counted in the actual vote then because of of
um you're not saying yay or nay um what else did I have here um that takes us then I've got that one okay then I'd also like to just kind of talk a little bit about line
173 that goes to uh the Quorum and about how we're able to meet in person and how we're able to meet in person with the Quorum and also being able to um have people call in it was um
something prevents them from being physically uh attending the meeting such as Miss caval is not able to be here but she's on on the phone with us which is really great at least she's able to participate um however having people here is is the
best where we can exchange and and talk about ideas and things of that nature but Madam Madam president can I please can have five minute please recess please okay e
e e e e thank you all right so we're ready to reconvene um again in regards to the Quorum there's four reasons for um
someone not to attend the meeting in in person um the phys personal illness or disability employment and sometimes we've had people who have had uh duties at work um but they've been able to join us over the
phone a family or other emergency and number four is the unexpected Child Care obligations and I know that that's that came up uh within the last couple of years because there's a lot of young people who would like to run for for the
boards however you know sometimes with the child care causes some problems um this allows younger people to be part of of boards and in some areas uh some school districts it's really hard to get people to run so it's really important
to have a nice mix of people at the board with some different backgrounds and things um my personal feeling is I think we need to um give Grace sometimes to people because sometimes with the
child care if you're running late and you're still able to get to the board meeting it makes a world of difference being here and engaging with your fellow board members so I think sometimes we have to
just give Grace to people and they show up they give of their time I think that that's really important so I think these four reasons are extremely important I think people need to understand that um one of the other things that I i' just
like to to point out is um the next item 18 uh lines 187 to 191 The Rules of Order what we're asking for in here is that um that the board adopts the rules
apply that the board president as the presiding officer will use the most recent addition of Robert's Rules of Order newly revised as a guide when a question arises concerning procedure in the path past we kind of went that it had to be Robert's Rules and sometimes
we ran into conflicting um opinions so just as a reminder asking us to use that as as a guide and and I I would concur with that and I would hope that that would be followed considering that a
recess requires a motion and a vote and should not interrupt a a person that's on the floor and it would be good if we did follow Robert's Rules of Order i' I'd also like to if I may Madam president um just clarify for the new
business there is with the three asteris is on line 69 will be shared with the board president before a board meeting um I'd like to maybe have that changed where possible um be shared with the board
president I I know that sometimes we have public comments and then that leads to us adding new business to the agenda for the next meeting and it it may not be possible to to share it prior and I I think there should be a little flexibility there and
maybe change that word from will okay yeah because we've done that and that's kind of been our practice lately in case something has come up all right so looking at line 69 is that agreeable with
everyone okay yes anything else in regards to this particular policy um if I just may I just wanted to go back to um some of the points that you made um Madam president about the voting uh sorry not the voting
method um line 67 is that we no about attending the meetings whether that be over the phone and and you know the reasoning why um folks may not be here in person uh I just want to you
know thank you for talking about giving folks Grace I know that in the last year you and um Dr small as well as her administrative um staff have given me um really great grace um as a new mother of
another child so um I also want to clarify that does not make me any less prepared um any less um invested in our students in our district um I'm Dr small and her staff are very much um available
for any questions Beyond just um a couple minutes in close session so I just want to thank you all for the grace that you have shown me um in the last year um and especially as a nursing mother so thank you I I hope I didn't
say anything to slight because I just wanted to make a point you are here you show up you come you're prepared you ask questions you are amazing amazing you are here and that's that's the point I've been trying to get across no and you made the point across I just wanted
to you know drive it home for those who may be listening um and taking attendance of our presence all right thank you any other comments or questions in regards to this yeah if I could please if we look at line
179 and maybe 178 so it says um one is personal illness or disability I concur line two or number Point number two says employment or District
business so I think that one is Broad you know employment District business typically if it's an employment engagement it's rare that you'll have the ability to speak or attend the meeting if it's for
employment so I don't know if there's a way to kind of clarify that uh where it says employment or or District business um then also number three it says a family or other
emergency so that would allow someone to to possibly call in I know we have some board members that um their job uh causes them to be out of state for maybe a training or work workshops or things of that nature but they're able to join
us in the evening and then they've used the phone correct so I think that that's that's the employment part I I don't believe we have any leniency in this language I think it is prescribed to us by the OK open meetings act I will double check that but that is my initial
response without double-checking we do not that is also my understanding vary them what were you looking at I I'm not clear well it wasn't that I was necessarily looking for anything I just wanted clarification because if we're going through a first reading of a rule
right then I was under the impression that there could be some interpretation but if it isn't and if it is what it is then I'll move on I will confirm that and get it to the board yep okay because it's just a waste of time to talk about something that can't be changed in my
opinion okay and if we can add some additions to that language um I think that and again you all showing me the grace of putting something in here about nursing um and I don't know if that falls in with one of these categories but I know I know that has given me um
you know the opportunities to leave the boardroom um go to a private area call in and then come back to that boardroom um but I don't know if that language can be added in here as well I concur the the whole idea of having um flexibility
and Grace is I don't see that in this paragraph well there's certain things that we have to have so I I think there we don't have to change on this I will let the board though thank you okay all right anything else in regards to this
one okay if not then that will take us to uh what do we have next we have BD policy BD uh types of school board me meetings any questions in regards to this one if I may this is combining the
current policy BD which is school board meetings in its original title and adding into it BDA regular board meetings and B DB special board meetings so that they are all in one spot on one
policy um I'd like to recommend that line 23 just be clarified to State um maybe change it from school boards and then having the possessive um pronoun in there its committees to and board
committees um as the title board committee is used later and has a specific connotation just to make sure that there isn't a committee that um is not a board committee that's confused so let me make sure I'm understanding you right read
the read the line the way you're proposing three for all meetings of the schoool board and board committees okay I know some committees that we've had in the past or may have in the future are not board committees but they
do have liais on serving on them but there's different requirements for a board committee versus a committee where there's just a member as a liaison okay thank you anything else in regards to this one I just want to follow up on that in
line 67 um Mr dey's suggestion would make it coherent with that language as well because it's reflected back in line 67 the Board of Education and board committees so I support his suggestion I think it's a good idea okay uh 67 and
68 yes the one is specific to close sessions Mr dy's suggestion is a good one in terms of clarifying for the Open Session but um I was just pointing out that makes the language cohesive as it applies to closed session there as noted in line 67 and
68 okay board committees may call closed session to discuss item as the law allows okay got it thank you all right anything else on that one all right that takes care of the ones that are being uh um revised then
we have five board policies that are up for deletion because they've been Blended in there any questions on any of those five I I and J are the ones that have been merge with policy BD
correct so follow make sure I'm following policy BD all been they've all been merged they to confirm which letters go with which merged okay um then that will take us to the new proposed
policy on get to that uh the new proposed policy IG CFB high school credit for students in grades seven or eight Dr small uh this policy is based on the discussion from
last month's board meeting it is a press that you are seeing okay does that what you see is that what um you're comfortable with or any suggestions or changes okay all right then we're good
with that then that will take us to our next item okay board member expenses the next recommended action is that the Board of Education approve the pre-approval form for future expense reimbursement for Anna clitz and Steve Ro Steven Rosenblum
to attend the north cook division dinner meeting on March 4th 2025 as submitted may I have a motion please so moved second second okay thank you any discussion roll call please Mr Bradley
hi Mr dumbrowski no Mr mcowan I Mr Rosen Bloom hi Miss cattle I miss Baron I Mrs kimowitz I the motion carries the next item is potential topics for future discussion
and I've had none presented to me then that would take us to our committee reports um nsseo you have do it if I may
you have the um Gap analysis and I know I touched on it um last month about the governance structure as they're working on the Strategic plan we're looking at a little bit different of the government governing structure we're looking at the
finances and facilities and we're looking on maintaining a highly qualified staff um and instruction and programming so those are really the the three parts of the Strategic plan that they're working on so I I did put a a sheet at your table that kind of
summarizes it the Gap analysis the executive summary goes into it a little bit more and it talks about the other specialed cooperatives that are you know in the
neighboring areas and how they do their governing structure one of the things that we're looking at doing differently through the Strategic plan and the involvement of all of our member districts and our directors and our
superintendents from all of our schools is looking at the governance of having a um a board the governing board and also having an operational board and I'm going to ask Dr small to talk a little
bit more about uh the thought behind that and what that might possibly look like so within the um goals of the Strategic plan we were looking at uh a governance structure that included superintendents and what came out of that was an action plan to do a gap
analysis of comparing the nsseo structure to other co-ops um in our area and what we found in that analysis was it is common for the to be a operational board that is made up of each of the members superintendents so the
continuation of the involvement of our instructional experts our facility experts and our finance experts in those particular areas within that Co-op those experts are sent by each member district those recommendations then go up to an
operational board which is each member's superintendence some of those decisions that are operational would remain at that board the ones that would be required governing board decisions would go up right now what's happening is um
nsseo is running more like a district instead of a co-op so what wasn't happening was financial decisions or preparing for D financial decisions started with a little bit of Our member input but then
it never was moving up to superintendent and this board's recommendation so we are kind of setting up a more efficient structure in terms of the people sitting at tables that are part of the recommending and then
potentially the approving body along the way so there will be more details to come on this but that is the essence of the structural change and then this board as well as every other all the other entire eight board member boards will vote on that
structure so it will come back here for a vote it'll it'll come back and um you know currently the board has had some some special committees for finance and for facilities and we've had a number of people but it um I think with an
operational board it adds a little bit more continuity to it and more information from all of our member districts so it it it's going to look a little bit different but I think it's it's a positive step and much more involvement um by each of the the
district it is a commitment by each of the superintendents of the member districts to be an active member of the co-op and receive information and be able to give recommendations okay which is what a co-op should be any
questions I have a couple so can the governing board remove members of the operational board no the governing board is in the current situation Anna's vote represents you I
understand that and she's elected by the community to represent the Community overall within the co-op as well the governing board Is Not Elected Anna's Anna is sent by this board to represent this board right and only elected
members are on the governing board are there any governing board members at n SSO that are not elected members of the community no they're eight members they're eight members yes and this would add another with the operational board
which has a little bit more say into the the um the structure the facilities and I again I think a little more of the continuity as to what our students need what the expectations are um and I think a better understanding of all of our
school districts that are part of it any other questions and we'll come back we'll have more information because I know meetings will be going on as to you know how it would look as far as meetings um for each of those boards throughout the
year okay then we'll move on to the next um committee report which is Ed R Mr Rosen Bloom thank you so um I'll start by saying believe it or not it's going to be short um there is a
um a bill that is being advocated by edred that actually got a number and that is um the D PRI prioritization of the use of schools for polling places um and there's a push to allow uh
some some involvement by the school districts with the election authority to decide whether or not their schools will be used as polling places and there are some parameters that that are being put
around that such as uh for the safety or operation of the school locations so there's some things that that they're going to be involving allowing schools to have a say as to whether or not they're districts being used and the schools are being used so that's a bill
that's going through uh committees right now just as a point of information our schools and the district office on the North End are used as polling places our schools on the south end are not used as polling places thank you and the other thing is that the next meeting for edre
is Friday February 7th and we will have representation at that meeting okay thank you the next is the community I'm sorry not February 7th in in March sorry about that and and we
will have representation at that meeting okay thank you sorry about that thank you all right next is the community and Family Services report Miss Baron yeah the up Coalition met on January 29th at the palentine library
and um they had a great meeting um we got a presentation from uh Hugh Brady from namni um he presented on the 708 Mental Health Board referendum that um pal the town Palatine Township is trying to pass um to establish a 708 board and
um talked about the benefits of having that board I know that shanberg Township as well as Hanover Township already has their 708s established so fingers crossed we will see the same at Palatine um we they did a um up survey
they reviewed um a survey results um from their surveying uh the Community Partners that are make up the Coalition and um they did a little bit of a community needs assessment as well um we were able to talk about what
future meeting topics um the members wanted to learn about um so there are a lot of great ones um as well as some of the biggest issues that they're seeing in the community so this board uh members are really trying to take a look at what's affecting our community
and how can our community members and our organizations you know help out um in chip in so great meeting overall and then as well as on board dos if folks want to take a look at there are two scholarship opportunities for our high
school students so any see um anybody who can qualify for those uh scholarships I recommend taking a look at and applying for um those Awards and then uh at Palatine High School uh they're doing a
